MSDS header vs. Vibrant header

[iGOzoom]

Wondering if anyone has had both header and what there opinion is on which one is superior over the other. Other than vibrant being 4-2-1 and MSDS 4-1 is there any other significant difference between the two? Do they both offer same performance gains?

I did a search on here but wasn't able to gather much info on the MSDS header so all help/info/feedback appreciated.

Where would be the best place for one to purchase a 4-1 header as my car lacks power in 3rd. I'm just north of windsor.

funny you say that. 3rd gear is a 1:1 ratio and is usually the most responsive gear

hhhhmmm, i dont know about that. i had the Vibrant (4-2-1), and had no low end power, but tons of top end power.
a header will just get the exhaust out of the engine faster, and increase flow. when you increase flow, you lose backpressure and lose bottom end power.

I ended up going with vibrant and it was definitely high end power.
